Hokkaido University Botanical Garden

Hokkaido University Botanical Garden is a peaceful green retreat in central Sapporo, just a short walk from the station. Founded in 1886, it combines landscaped grounds with native northern Japanese plants, alpine species, and historic greenhouse collections. The site also includes museums and preserved buildings that reflect Hokkaido’s natural and cultural history. Visitors who want a quiet break from the city, an interest in regional flora, or a glimpse of early scientific research in Hokkaido will find it especially rewarding.
